SIG P 210-1 army

[OLIAR15]

Bought this SIG P 220-1 army yesterday. It’s the 1811th made for the Swiss army contract in 1949, so a first year delivery model, a true P49 pistol. 3200 were made and delivered that year.







Took it straight to the 25 m indoor range

Beautiful pistol. Sample size of one but of the one I’ve handled, what exquisite craftsmanship especially considering it’s an off the rack contract gun. To me, the one you have here is the perfect condition to buy one of these. Not too pristine that you’re afraid to shoot it without affecting its value, and not too beat up that there’s something you look at and cringe and bothers you. Just a nice clean pistol with honest wear. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. I went over the internals and it’s been shot very little, no wear on the barrel lugs, very tight gun.

And the LGS just bought a private collection. I’ll stay away from him for a while

[CCK]

he bought that collection knowing you were out there. now your going to deprive him (and yourself)?

They are priced between 2400 and 6500 depending on model. The long barrels 210-5 target are quite rare. Some have a .22 conversion matching number. High end stuff. Too rich for me.
